Sega Mega Drive Portable Video Game Player
If you are a fan of the Sega Genesis at all, buy this now. I have been playing this thing more than my DS Lite ever since I got it.The only thing that keeps this player from getting a perfect score is the fact that it only has one sonic game(not counting Dr.Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine).

You get what you paid for. It's not the greatest, but is certainly worth 40 bucks for the chance to play those games again. Like the others mentioned, there are some stability issues on a couple of games, which is unfortunate, and I found the speaker had a tendency to distort, cut out, and randomly go out of phase. All of these problems went away with headphones, so there's nothig wrong with the sound itself.
I found the controls a little stiff, especially when trying to press the D-pad in diagonal directions. The seletion of games is very good, but not fantastic. I would have preferred the original columns over columns 3, and a few games are clearly just filler (no offence to Gain Ground fans, but seriously...)
Overall, though, it's still a lot of fun, and a must have for any megadrive fans.

Portable megadrive It is great, but it is very awful that sometimes the console reset, and you have to start again grgrgr.
It has happened to me with:
-Sonic & knuckles
-Shadow dancer
-Flicky
-Eswat

sega portable slight problaem very nice and affordable. works okay like all selection of games quite nice mix. looks as to be expect blown up on tv warning does recete itself. on sonic and knuckles. randomly does freeze on ramdom games or game time is not selective. tried to see if there was a pattern. nothing tried email sevice on package bad email or something. I guess it is so new have not worked out kinks. with these two annoynces is still very fun and very portable. a little bit unstable. with all that said i would like to see more of these type of portable gadgets made.

Sega Mega Drive Portable Video Game Player If you are a fan of the Sega Genesis at all, buy this now. I have been playing this thing more than my DS Lite ever since I got it.The only thing that keeps this player from getting a perfect score is the fact that it only has one sonic game(not counting Dr.Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine). I would gladly have paid 40 dollars just for the four main sonic games.The games are not listed in the item description, so I'll name a few:
Sonic and Knuckles
Ristar
Arrow Flash
Kid Chameleon
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
The system is backlit, I have not checked the battery life yet, but I have been playing on my first set for at least four hours. The speaker does sound a little distorted from the original games, but I would recommend using a pair of headphones.
Overall a great buy and I hope play-asia can get a second release with new games.
